Back to business - Saeed's comeback in Medina
A street-food cart in Medina needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For three years I have run a street-food cart in Medina. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof took a gas stove and two refrigerators. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 weeks.
This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment.
Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $2,000
• Initial stock: ingredients: $440
• Shop repairs and licensing: $155
• Working capital for the first month: $355
With deep gratitude,
Saeed

Thanks for sharing this, Saeed. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. Take care
Keep going, Saeed. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Houston
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Madinah. I'll ask around and let you know.
Sending strength, Saeed. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Victoria donated after I showed her your page.
Sending good thoughts, Saeed. Small businesses are the heart of Medina. Hope you're open again soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Medina.
wishing you the best, Saeed. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up.
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Saint Petersburg
Take care, Saeed. Hope you make a strong comeback. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
